Even Now I Know is a vivid picture of a family of faith navigating through a myriad of emotions, challenges, heartache, and frustration. In it, Dr. Michael Bullock shares his creative perspective on the conversations surrounding the biblical story of Mary, Martha, Lazarus, and Jesus.

Sometimes we make sacrifices to help us get ahead, to allow us more time with family, or because we believe in the cause. And then there are sacrifices in which we have no say, "Isaac experiences" as in Genesis 22, thrust upon us without warning or survival instructions.
